Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

While summarizing, Yang Hehua washed all the dishes and chopsticks in the pot on the stove.

There is not much oil and water these days, so just wash the dishes and chopsticks with wood ash and loofah sac and clean water.

Yang Hehua wanted to buy detergent to wash the dishes, but that thing was not invented until the 1980s.

People nowadays usually use rice bran or wood ash to wipe the bowl and then rinse it with clean water.

Especially in this day and age, daily necessities are in short supply.

Soap used in daily life also requires tickets. It is a scarce commodity. If you go too late, you won’t be able to buy it even if you have money and tickets.

There are two bars of soap at home, one opened and one unopened, placed in the cupboard.

However, Yang Hehua couldn't get rid of her psychological impression and used it to wash dishes.

In fact, wood ash is also very good.

After finishing the housework such as dishes and chopsticks, Yang Hehua took a basin of urine that Xiao Linsheng had urinated in and the diaper that had not yet been washed to the pool in the middle courtyard to wash it.

It’s not that she didn’t want to wash in the front yard, it’s just that the pool in the front yard was too small, and Auntie Yang Ruihua and several neighbors in the front yard were also washing.

As for the Intermediate Court, there is no one here right now.

Judging from the noise, he should still be eating.

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

Auntie is at home every day, so the door of the house is never closed except when she goes out to buy groceries.

In particular, not long after Yi Zhonghai was elected as the eldest uncle, he held a general meeting of all employees, advocating the construction of civilized courtyards, and everyone did not need to lock their homes when going out.

At this time, uncle Yi Zhonghai and aunt were having dinner.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yi Zhonghai wanted to have a good rest at home and think about his retirement plan. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, his apprentice Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhang, made trouble again and got herself into jail.

I went to the hospital today, but was turned away.

After returning from the hospital, Yi Zhonghai did not go to work. After all, it was not far from the time to get off work.

A man was drinking alone at home.

After discovering that her husband was drinking alone, an old lady quickly prepared some peanuts for him to eat with the wine. She was busy until now, and the two of them have just had dinner.

While picking up the food, the aunt saw Yang Hehua's serious expression as she washed diapers under the incandescent light, and she felt envious.

She has been married to her husband for more than 20 years and has never had a child. She did get pregnant once but failed to keep the baby.

She could guess at least half of what her old man was thinking, even if she didn't tell him everything.

On the table today, in addition to a small dish of peanuts prepared for Yi Zhonghai, there was also a plate of scrambled eggs with five-color leeks, a bowl of shredded pickled vegetables, a basket of cornmeal flatbreads, and a bowl of steaming millet porridge.

An old lady picked up a piece of fried eggs with five-colored chives and put it into Yi Zhonghai's bowl: "Old Yi, are you still angry about what happened just now? Don't think about it. Come on, let's eat!"

Yi Zhonghai drank a glass of wine straight into his mouth, then put it heavily on the table, making a sound: "This Jia Zhang is really too much, but this Lotus Widow is really, isn't it just a small matter, is it necessary to call the police!?

Dongxu has such a mother and neighbor, it's really hard for him to bear!"

Auntie: "What kind of person is Dongxu's mother? We have lived in this courtyard for nearly 30 years, how could we not know? Don't worry too much about it. Your health is more important. At most, you can talk to Dongxu about it. Besides, whether Jia Zhang can be released after being arrested is another matter."

Hearing his wife talking about this, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and stuffed a mouthful of fried eggs with five-color leeks into his mouth: "It's difficult! Today's incident is not only known to the people in our yard, but also to Director Wang of the Street Office. Dongxu and I went to the hospital to discuss the terms with Widow Lotus, but before Dongxu could say anything, Widow Lotus threw something at him, and it happened in front of Director Wang.

The men in the city all care about their reputation, but Dongxu is also feeling angry at the moment.

Moreover, Widow Lotus and her children are all martyrs' relatives.

I heard that they wanted to make an example of this!"

The old lady looked disapproving, "Just catch an example, it's not your problem today. Besides, you are the eldest uncle in this hospital, who can cause trouble to you? I'm telling you, just relax."

It would be strange if I could relax, because Jia Dongxu would definitely come to my door soon.

I don’t know why Old Yi chose Yi Zhonghai. She thinks Sha Zhu is a good kid.

It would be nice if we could adopt a child, but Lao Yi doesn’t agree!

Ugh!

It’s all my fault for not being able to give birth to a child.

This made Old Yi worry about their future retirement life.

This Jia Dongxu really happened just as the aunt expected. He came not long after he finished washing diapers in Yang Hehua and left the central courtyard.

Originally, I wanted to go to Master Yi Zhonghai for dinner at dinner time to have a meal, but I didn't expect that Yang Hehua, who lived in the front yard, actually came to the pool in the middle yard to wash clothes.

The front yard, middle yard and back yard of the Siheyuan are all equipped with running water pipes and pools.

The only difference is that there are two pools in the central courtyard, and they are located in a larger area.

Generally, Yang Hehua from the front yard rarely comes to the middle yard to wash things. She only comes when there is no space.

Today, the incident in which Yang Hehua hit herself on the forehead with an enamel cup still left a deep impression on Jia Dongxu's mind.

Not much time had passed, and Xiao Linsheng, who was pushed on the head by his mother Jia Zhang and injured, had not woken up yet. He did not dare to appear in front of the Lotus Widow.

It would be terrible if she suddenly went berserk and stabbed me twice.

Besides, he is a martyr's relative, and the honor plaque is hanging on the door.

He is not a stubborn person who can't get over it.

You can eat the chef's food at any time.

It won't take a while.

Qin Huairu saw her husband Jia Dongxu walk to the door and then come back, sitting at the table and continuing to eat. She asked, "Dongxu, didn't you just say you were going to your master Yi Zhonghai's house for dinner? Why aren't you going again?"

"That Lotus Widow is washing diapers in the pool. I dare not go over there." Jia Dongxu took a big bite of the steamed bun made of three-grain flour and then shoveled two mouthfuls of pickled cabbage into his mouth.

When Qin Huairu heard the words "Lotus Widow", she fell silent.

This widow named Yang Hehua was from Yangjia Village, next to their Qinjia Village.

Qin Huairu was born in 1933, and Yang Hehua was born in 1934. The two had no connection before they were 18 or 9 years old.

And the connection began in these 51 years.

Both of them got married in the early 51 and moved from the countryside to the courtyard house at No. 95 Tongluo Ancient Lane.

Since they are all wives from the countryside, it is natural that they are compared with each other by the aunties in this courtyard.

At the beginning, everyone said that the two of them were hardworking. Qin Huairu washed clothes at home every day, while Yang Hehua went out to chop firewood with a basket on her back every day.

Qin Huairu is lucky, but not as lucky as Yang Hehua.

As soon as Yang Hehua got married, she no longer had parents-in-law to worry about, and she was able to be the head of the household.

Qin Huairu has a lazy mother-in-law who orders her around every day. If she is slow, she will be beaten, scolded, and strangled!

Unexpectedly, Yang Hehua's husband died on the battlefield, and the pregnant Yang Hehua became a widow!

This is really great!

But the Jia family still has a hard time!
